Apache Maven Beginner to Guru - Maven Dependencies

The video tutorial provides an in-depth explanation of Maven dependencies, including transitive dependencies, dependency mediation, and exclusion. It covers various dependency scopes such as compile, provided, runtime, and test, and discusses system and import dependencies. The tutorial also introduces the Maven dependency plugin, highlighting its utility in resolving conflicts and managing dependencies effectively.

What is a transitive dependency in Maven?

• A dependency that is cyclic in nature.

• A dependency of a dependency that your project relies on.

What is the purpose of the Maven dependency tree command?

• To list all available plugins.

• To compile the project.

What does the Maven dependency:purge-local-repository goal do?

• It updates all dependencies to the latest version.

• It lists all dependencies in the local repository.

• It removes corrupted dependencies from the local repository.

• It compiles the project with a clean slate.
